igotnogame Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not that I'm in the market for it, but where was it posted it will be for sale? I saw Jim's IG post showing it, but would have thought he would have said something. Not criticizing, just curious. Regardless, it's awesome to see.

For $45K, and he also had the Interiors for X-Force 1 for $36K.

If he sold it all now, maybe 4-6x his money? I'm not sure that's a good return compared to other things he could have bought in the late 90's that would be 20X now easily.

You probably already know, so this is for everyone else - my comment wasn't about the future speculative aspect of ROI. It was about the art, at any price above salvage. I know that's super provocative sounding, but it's not intended to be. This stuff is for the kids that were ten years old in 1990, that just wasn't me. The long hard road of Cockrum 2nd run X-Men getting any respect in relation to Byrne or 1st run...that's me. I was the ten year old kid a decade earlier.

John E. Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I have no interest in paying a premium for the complete set. I’d only be interested if Jim was willing to break it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The new owner will ‘predictably’ separate these for 💰 in oh, IDK, ten years? Or they will be given the Michelangelo treatment and have a special house of worship built for them? I appreciate them for what they are. This does seem like the time to sell them. Still ten years from now should they come up again they no doubt will blow past whatever they sell for now. Remarkable times. September 15......

I hope I’m wrong. These belong with a deep pocket fan boy. Edited September 12, 2021 by grapeape Readcomix and Michael Browning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varanis Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Oh man, it would be really sad to see these broken up. I really hope whoever they end up with is an excellent caretaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
